Dear all!
Please note that
TLPDB->location
has gone and is replaced by
TLPDB->root
specifying the actual ROOT of the installation.
If you really need the file itself please ONLY USE
use TeXLive::TLConfig qw/$InfraLocation $DatabaseName/;
$tlpdb->root/$InfraLocation/$DatabaseName
and nothing else. Thanks.
I removed all traces of texlive.tlpdb and location in all the bin files
and modules, and tried that the installer and the tlpsrc2tlpdb still
works, but I cannot guarantee that I didn't miss something. Please
report in case of failures.
Motivation behind: I needed the root of the installation quite often
(creating of fmtutil.cnf and relatives, etc) and I first tried to have
location and root, but it was too much pain.
Best wishes
Norbert

of a creature well known for its total lack of any pleasant
parts.
